On my trip to Mendocino County the second week of July 2022, I saw these pea plants along roadsides everywhere in purple (as here), red, and white. This is Everlasting Pea or Perennial Sweet Pea (Lathyrus latifolius), from Europe originally, where is has long been used as an ornamental. Part of my 31 Paintings in July challenge. 220727. Ink and watercolor, 7" x 10". |
